Bio:
Jon Stein is a potter and educator from Cincinnati, Ohio. He found clay and the potters wheel at fifteen, igniting a lifelong journey in ceramics. Before earning his BFA at Northern Kentucky University he traveled to Japan to study wood-fired kilns techniques. Following his graduation, he spent time working with artists with developmental disabilities, driven by the belief that creative experiences with clay can significantly enhance quality of life. This commitment to inclusivity informs his work as he strives to make these experiences accessible to a diverse community. Jon’s quest to expand his knowledge of atmospheric firing led him to Utah State University, where he earned his MFA. His teaching roles and artist residencies have taken him across the country. In 2019, he returned to Cincinnati to become the education director of Queen City Clay, where he balances his teaching responsibilities with an active studio practice.
